Smart-Grid • Has the industry created a common vision of Smart Grid? • What questions should be asked before we create a Smart-Grid vision
Three Questions • Have our policy makers created the right environment for the development of sustainable energy and environmental programs? • Is the prescriptive approach the right approach? • Is there a better approach?
The Prescriptive Approach • Renewable standards • Conservation standards/goals • Greenhouse gas reduction goals • Super-Grid standards • Mandated vehicle emission standards • Plug in electric hybrid goals • Alternate fuel standards
Unintended Consequences • One size fits all • Impossible to optimize portfolio of programs • Creates market anomalies • Potentially creates negative environmental impact • Dilutes smart-grid value potential
Is a Course Correction Needed • Should we consider an outcome based approach • What is the goal? • Energy independence • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
Evaluation Framework • Triple bottom-line approach • Economic • Environmental • Social
Role of Smart Grid • Optimize current portfolio • Inform policy makers with real time data
